Collector Notes: E. United States (Long Island, New York, 1919): NY (orig. herb.) Indiana (1909): NY. Georgia (1914): NY
Howard J. Banker collections often use a confusing collection and date system. Labels often use the following format:
[daily collection number] - [month/day] - [year]
The daily collection number are consecutive numbers (starting at 1) for each gathering Banker made on a specific date.
Specimens from Banker's herbarium (labels with the header "Herbarium of Howard J. Banker") will have a herbarium accession number written in the upper right of the label, or just above the label. This number is most often used as Banker's collection number in the NY database; while it is not exactly his collection number, it is informative. -
